have a Republican senator raise a point of order during the debate on Estrada, challenging the use of the filibuster against judges on Constitutional grounds. With Cheney sitting as president of the Senate, he could then rule that a filibuster on judicial nominees was out of order, and proceed to an up or down vote. The Dems could whine, but there is nothing they could do about it, since Cheney would be the final word. The USSC wouldn't touch any court challenge. I think this is the so-called "nuclear option" mentioned by several Republican senators. We need to start asking for this, rather than screaming for "action" or demanding recess appointments.
